Thank you! I am working on a simple enough site, but they wanted a breadcrumb shown and this is exactly what I needed for the template file

So you need to return the categories, rather than echo them. That would be get_the_category_list(): http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_category_list

I understand. I suppose I was trying to get you to give me some nice code for free.

Thanks again for the code and for your reply.

Amp, this code isn’t meant to replace your title tag code entirely, it’s only an example. I suggest using it in addition to several if else statements for different areas of your site. For instance, my title tag on my site is 17 lines of code.

Guess that’s not supported.

Anyways, it’s plain WP theme title content.

Sorry, forgot the code tag.

Generic title content:

» Archive

What I mean is this;
my generic title tag content:
» Archive

If I replace that code with your code then the post title of the static home page is missing. What you get is the URI of the blog as meta title.

Does this make any sense?

BTW, thanks for your quick response.

Amp,

Not sure what you’re referring to here. This code looks to see if the current page is a child of another page and if that’s true, it adds the parent’s page title to the title tag.

Great code that works fine.
Thanks. But what if you have a static homepage? Could you use the is_front_page statement? I’ve tried it with WP 3.1 but with no luck. Then again, I’m not too great with PHP.

Thanks again!
